Surely the Mappemundo Makes the List?

Fascinating data, especially when viewed in terms of the trends. Great idea for a disucssion!!

So what about the lovely and rare "Mappemundo"? These have been discussed on a regular basis, since we started this forum, even appearing in the esteemed Patrizzi auction, just a few months ago. We still don't know who made them, but they simply refuse to disappear!! I expect that we will still be discussing them in 2020!!

: Wanting to put the search to the test a bit, plus being a bit
: bored, I wondered which were the most discussed Heuer models on
: this forum. So I set about finding out. I had some guesses, but
: wanted to see how the reality matched up to them.

: The searches are not particularly scientific; I didn't make any
: attempt to filter out references to, say, Silverstone the race
: track as opposed to Silverstone the watch, or to Manhattan the
: Borough. Still, they're a reasonable approximation for finding
: out to satisfy an idle interest, which was all I wanted!

: So here, with no further ado, are the watches in position 4-21:

: 4 Silverstone 764
: 5 Monza 475
: 6 Daytona 467
: 7 Pasadena 272
: 8 Calculator 265
: 9 Pilot 248
: 10 Skipper 196
: 11 Verona 196
: 12 Chronosplit 154
: 13 Regatta 107
: 14 Easy Rider 103
: 15 Manhattan 103
: 16 Kentucky 95
: 17 Jarama 71
: 18 Temporada 46
: 19 Solunar 42
: 20 Memphis 26
: 21 Senator 12

: Giving up on trying to format that as a table...

: As you might expect, the "big three" are missing, but
: what order are they in? Come see in the replies!
